Aristotle quotes page 2

Happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were
amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves... The happy
life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in
amusement.Aristotle

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep
out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness; and those in the
prime of life they incite to noble deeds.Aristotle

Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and
intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. Choice, not chance,
determines your destiny.Aristotle
